TTB Newsletter for February 3, 2023

TTB Laboratory Services

As we noted in last week's Newsletter, we have transitioned our Compliance Laboratory operations from Walnut Creek, California, to our National Laboratory Center in Beltsville, Maryland, which consolidates our laboratory services in one location. We began shifting work to the National Laboratory Center in September 2022 without interruption to the services we provide. This consolidation will increase our operational efficiencies and allow us to more effectively serve our laboratory customers.

We remain committed to providing our laboratory customers with the highest level of service. Please contact our Scientific Service Division if you need assistance or have product testing questions.

Effective immediately, please remember to send all product samples to:
